Spintronics is a field of study that involves the use of the intrinsic spin and magnetic moment of electrons in solid-state devices.<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Wolf | first1 = S.

Membrane computing, also known as P systems,<ref>{{cite journal|last=Păun|first=Gheorghe|title=Introduction to Membrane Computing|url=http://psystems.disco.unimib.it/download/MembIntro2004.pdf|access-date=2022-12-30|archive-date=2011-07-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722063157/http://psystems.disco.unimib.it/download/MembIntro2004.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> is a subfield of computer science that studies distributed and parallel computing models based on the structure and function of biological membranes. In these systems, objects such as symbols or strings are processed within compartments defined by membranes, and the communication between compartments and with the external environment plays a critical role in the computation. P systems are hierarchical and can be represented graphically, with rules governing the production, consumption, and movement of objects within and between regions. While these systems have largely remained theoretical,<ref>{{US Patent|20090124506}}</ref> some have been shown to have the potential to solve NP-complete problems and have been proposed as hardware implementations for unconventional computing.
